NAME CHANGES, GUEST CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS: Reservations and
package components are non-transferable. We will make a reasonable
effort to accommodate changes to Guest names prior to departure
provided that at least one member of the originally-booked party
travels; however, we reserve the right to pass on to you any third
party costs (such as from airlines or Suppliers) we incur in so doing.
You may cancel by telephone or in writing. The time of cancellation
will be the date upon which we receive notice from you. If you fail
to execute and return the Adventure Travel Agreement (see below) to us
no later than 14 calendar days after booking, it will be deemed a
cancellation by you. If you make changes to the vacation
commencement date or chosen vacation, it will be deemed a cancellation
by you. If you cancel, amounts paid, minus cancellation fees and
nonrefundable amounts, will be promptly refunded. Regardless of when
you book, your US$300 deposit is refundable for 14 calendar days after
original booking, notwithstanding the following cancellation fees,
calculated in calendar days prior to vacation start date and
irrespective of resale by us: 90 days or more: US$300 per person; 60-89 days: 25% of the land package price; 30-59 days: 50% of the land package price; 0-29 days:
100% of the land package price. No refunds will be made in the event of
interruption or cancellation by you after the vacation start date. All
appropriate refunds will be made in U.S. dollars directly to your
credit card, via check or through your travel agent (if applicable). We
will not be responsible for the receipt of refund monies by you from
your travel agent, some of whom may withhold an agency cancellation
fee. The cancellation terms above apply only to the land package price
and exclude, among other things, cancellation charges from air
carriers. Please see Vacation Protection Plan and Adventure Travel
Agreement, below.
AIRLINES: We accept only domestic U.S. flight reservations. Our
airfares must be purchased in conjunction with a land package. Airlines
may impose change or cancellation charges in addition to those set
forth above. In purchasing, selling or arranging your airfare, we are
acting as your agent only and have no liability or responsibility for
the performance of services by the airlines including, but not limited
to, accident, death, personal injury, property damage or flight
cancellation or delay. Your airline ticket and associated terms and
conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and the airline
(and not us), even if purchased through us.
ELIGIBILITY: Our brochure and website establish minimum
eligibility ages for each itinerary, as well as recommended minimum
ages which are based on several factors; however, some activities
within a vacation may have weight/height restrictions and/or different
minimum ages than our overall minimum eligibility age or recommended
minimum age. Please contact us for details. All children under age 18
must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian in the same room. By
sending us a deposit, you represent and certify that you and all
members of your traveling party: (i) have selected a vacation that is
appropriate to your abilities and interests; and (ii) are free from any
physical condition or disability that would create a hazard for you,
the Adventure Guides or other Guests. Please consult your doctor. We
have the right but not the obligation to deny participation to any
Guest and to remove from any vacation, at the Guest's sole expense, any
Guest whose condition is such that he or she could create a hazard to
himself or herself, the Adventure Guides or other Guests or otherwise
impacts the enjoyment of other Guests.
CLAIMS/NOTICE/REQUIREMENTS/TIME LIMITS: No claim for delay,
detention, personal injury, illness, emotional distress or death of a
Guest, or for loss of or damage to any of your property (collectively,
"Damages"), may be brought against us unless you provide written notice
of same to us within 6 months after the date of the event upon which
such claim is based (within 30 calendar days after the termination of
the tour for a claim of property loss or damage) and no legal action
may be brought against us for any Damages, unless such legal action is
commenced within 1 year from the date of the event upon which such
claim is based (within one year after the termination of the tour for a
claim of property loss or damage), and legal process relating to such
action is served on us within 120 calendar days after filing,
notwithstanding any provision of law of any state, territory,
possession or country to the contrary. Our liability for loss of or
damage to your property is limited to US$300 per Guest per tour, unless
upon the commencement of the tour you declare the true value of the
property in writing and pay 5% of the true value declared in excess of
US$300 to us, in which case our liability will be limited to the true
value declared not to exceed US$5,000. All settlements will be made
based on actual cash value (replacement cost, less depreciation) up to
the stated limits of our liability. Losses due to ordinary wear and
tear and acts of God are not reimbursable.
DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO TRAVEL/GUEST RESPONSIBILITIES: You are
solely responsible for obtaining current travel advisories, warnings
and requirements (such as visas and passports) by contacting your
travel agent, applicable embassies and consulates or referring to the
U.S. State Department's website at www.state.gov or by calling 1-888-407-4747. Non-U.S. residents please consult your local Travel Agent and refer to our .
All Guests must have valid government-issued proof of citizenship to
travel, in addition to any other requirements of the country of origin
and countries visited. Those without proper documentation may be denied
travel. If you did not purchase air travel through us, you are solely
responsible for notifying us of flight changes affecting your arrival
or we will not be able to meet you at the specified arrival airport.
VACATION PROTECTION PLAN: Generally speaking, the Vacation
Protection Plan provides insurance coverage for trip cancellation and
interruption, baggage protection and delay, travel accidents and delay,
and emergency medical and dental services and associated
transportation. The Plan is automatically included in all reservations,
but you may elect to decline coverage. If you purchase and pay for the
Plan in full within 14 calendar days of making your reservation,
certain pre-existing medical conditions may also be covered; however,
if you purchase and pay in full for the Plan more than 14 calendar days
after making your reservation (but no later than the final payment due
date), pre-existing medical conditions will not be covered. Conditions
and restrictions apply. Please contact a Concierge Agent for more
information or to request a copy of the Plan materials and for pricing.
The Plan is non-transferable. Premiums are non-refundable.
ITINERARY CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY US: We will make every
reasonable effort to operate the vacations as advertised; however, we
reserve the right to curtail or modify the itinerary, or to substitute
activities, hotels, meals or transportation as we deem necessary. We
further reserve the right to reduce the number of Adventure Guides to
one, and to modify other services to accommodate a smaller group, if a
minimum number of Guests is not reached. Similarly, we may marginally
exceed the stated group maximum size if necessary to accommodate a
family. Please also note that during certain holidays and peak periods,
some activities may be disrupted or unavailable. None of these
modifications or changes shall affect the land package price. We
reserve the right to cancel a trip at any time prior to its
commencement for any reason, such as if there are too few Guests, or if
the quality of the trip or the safety of the Guests would, in our
opinion, be compromised, such as may result from unforeseen
circumstances (acts of God) or other circumstances beyond our
reasonable control. If we cancel your trip prior to its commencement
because there are too few Guests: (i) we will attempt to re-book you on
another departure of the same itinerary, subject to availability, and
we will bear any reasonable airline re-booking charges; however, if we
are unable to rebook you, we will issue a full refund of your land
package price and Vacation Protection Plan (unless you have filed a
claim); and (ii) if you booked airfare through us, we will issue a full
refund of your airfare; and (iii) if you did not book airfare through
us, we will reimburse you for your reasonable out-of-pocket (subject to
proof) airline cancellation charges or, in the case of bookings using
frequent flier miles, a reasonable cancellation service fee, provided
you have exercised best efforts to mitigate such charges/fees; and (iv)
the aforesaid payments and/or rebooking by us shall constitute a full
settlement.
GUESTS NEEDING SPECIAL ASSISTANCE: Certain itineraries may
include activities that present challenges to or are not suitable for
Guests with special needs. We strongly recommend that Guests requiring
assistance be accompanied by a companion who is capable of, and totally
responsible for, providing assistance. Neither we nor our Suppliers may
physically lift or assist Guests onto transportation vehicles or
otherwise. Please contact a Concierge Agent to discuss your specific
needs.
SPECIAL REQUESTS: We will make a reasonable effort to
accommodate special requests, such as smoking, adjacent or connecting
rooms, bed size and dietary needs; however, we cannot guarantee that
these requests will be accommodated.
ARRIVE EARLY OR STAY LATE: We recommend that you arrive a day or
two prior to the start of your escorted vacation to get acclimated, or
stay a day or two after to extend your vacation on your own, all at
additional cost to you. Please ask a Concierge Agent for price, details
and availability, which unfortunately we cannot guarantee. On some
adventures, airport meet & greet and hotel transfer services are
available in connection with these additional days. Our special rates
for these additional days are only available if booked through us in
conjunction with a land package and cannot be combined with any other
offer. Canadian Guests please contact your Travel Agent.
GUEST FEEDBACK: While not required, we welcome Guest
suggestions, ideas, feedback and comments (collectively "Guest
Suggestions"). You hereby grant us and our affiliates the right, but do
not impose the obligation, to use, disclose and implement any Guest
Suggestions you choose to communicate to us without any liability,
compensation or obligation on our part.
SERVICE PROVIDERS: The services provided in connection with the
itineraries, including, without limitation, transportation, hotel
accommodations, restaurants, and other services are purchased from
various independent suppliers who are not affiliated with us in any way
("Suppliers"). Although we endeavor to choose high quality Suppliers,
we have no right to control their operations and therefore make these
travel arrangements upon the express conditions that we and our own
agents, employees and affiliates shall not be liable for any delay,
mishap, inconvenience, expense, irregularity, bodily injury, death or
damage to property occasioned through the conduct or default of any
Supplier, each of which is subject to laws of the state or country
where the service is provided. As a condition precedent to your
participation in the vacation package, we and some of our Suppliers
require that you execute and return to us an assumption of the risks
and release of liability form (in our case, the Adventure Travel
Agreement (see below)).
ADVENTURE TRAVEL AGREEMENT: The Adventure Travel Agreement is an
assumption of the risks and release of liability form provided to you
upon booking that you will be required to sign and return to us no
later than 14 calendar days after booking. Failure to do so will be deemed a cancellation by you.
You have 14 calendar days after booking to cancel and receive a full
refund of your deposit (see Name Changes, Guest Cancellations, Refunds)
if you choose not to execute the Adventure Travel Agreement. We
strongly advise that you not make any non-cancelable commitments within
14 calendar days after booking.
